SNL Eric Idle: Ron Nasty, Cheese and Onions
Eric Idle's hosting stint on Saturday Night went so well that he was invited back to host a second show later that season, on April 23, 1977.
One of the musical guests on that show was Neil Innes.
Great Britain had been going through enormous financial difficulties in the late seventies, and Eric Idle was determined to do something about it.
This episode of Saturday Night is conducted as the "Save Great Britain Telethon." Idle makes an amusing apology as the show begins, and throughout the episode, viewers are asked to pledge money to help keep Great Britain afloat.This was sufficient cause to bring former Rutle Ron Nasty, now living in New York, out of seclusion.
In support of the telethon, Nasty plays "Cheese and Onions".
